Living with MS isn’t just about managing symptoms. It’s about breaking free from the invisible barriers that hold you back. Trauma and limiting beliefs can quietly shape your experience, making MS feel even more overwhelming.

But what if you could shift your mindset, heal past wounds, and unlock a more empowered, fulfilling life? Taking control of your thoughts and emotions can be the key to thriving with MS.

Multiple sclerosis is a central nervous system disorder.

Here’s something you might not know. The nervous system is very reactive. It has its own way of storing our issues and we might not even realise. It’s separate from our brain and awareness.

Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are ​associated with MS​.

If you have experienced trauma in your life, intrusive thoughts and flashbacks can really get in the way.

Like MS, the difficulty with managing trauma is that it’s so often hidden. It hides in our ‘tissues’. As Petrea King (the founder of Quest for Life) says, the ‘issues are in our tissues’.
